Fox news from UK. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) maxicard from UK


"Red fox kit, still in dark, woolly neonatal fur."

"Apart from its large size, the red fox is distinguished from other fox species by its ability to adapt quickly to new environments and, unlike most of its cousins, is not listed as endangered anywhere. 
Despite its name, the species often produces individuals with abnormal colourings, including albinos and melanists.[6] 
45 subspecies are currently recognised,[7] which are divided into two categories: the large northern foxes, and the small, primitive southern foxes of Asia and the Middle East.[8]"
